Solar gain refers to the increase in temperature within a space, such as a building, due to sunlight entering through windows or other openings. This phenomenon occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the building's surfaces (like walls, floors, and furniture) and converted into heat, effectively raising the temperature of the interior environment. Solar gain can be beneficial in colder months, as it can help reduce heating costs by allowing sunlight to naturally warm a space.
